As
a teacher, I sat dumbfounded last May 16, 2005, when the Rocky Mountain
News inked a story, “What Happened?” to a stunned Denver, Colorado
audience. In a five year study starting in 1999 in Denver Public Schools,
5,663 students started the eighth grade. Five years later, only 1,884
graduated from high school. That’s a 65 percent drop out/flunk out
rate! That’s pathetic, if not frightening.

What
was the cause? First of all, 30,000 illegal aliens, speaking 40 different
languages, attended Denver schools. Our classrooms suffered thousands
of kids functionally illiterate in English with parents functionally
illiterate in English and Spanish. The classrooms featured so much
incompatible diversity that it created horrific tension, stabbings
and death. Thus, American kids suffered a profoundly dumbed-down educational
process. One in five teachers quit or transferred out of those Denver
classrooms every nine month cycle during those five years.

Last
week, the Denver Post announced that 30 percent of teachers in Denver
schools were not coming back next year. This is a nationwide travesty.
Why? As a teacher, I taught in the inner city in the 1970s. It’s exasperating
beyond understanding to walk into a classroom where children suffer
learning disabilities, broken homes, teen pregnancies at 14, 15, 16,
multiple languages and violent confrontations with other ethnic groups.
It’s impossible to teach. I left my idealism in the ghetto and escaped
to a suburban school. But, today, teachers can’t escape because over
1.5 million illegal alien students with more than 100 languages attend
our kids’ schools nationwide. We witness a national breakdown in education.
Last week, Superintendent Roy Romer of Los Angeles public schools
resigned in frustration and defeat. California schools match the violence
of a war zone.

Can
you imagine such a failure rate across the country? Can you imagine
the consequences of an illiterate generation leading this Republic
into the 21st century? Folks, this country won’t make it. Where is
the outrage?

It
takes four aspects for a free and democratic society to maintain itself.
It requires a highly educated population that can write, read, think
and vote intelligently. It takes a similar moral code whereby everyone
adheres to the common good. It requires a similar code of ethics whereby
citizens adhere to honesty, doing what is right and maintaining those
ethics throughout the social fabric. Finally, it takes a similar language
that allows citizens to discuss, debate and resolve problems. We compromise
all four with an invasion exceeding four million new people into the
USA annually—20 million illegals to date and climbing. We allow the
disintegration of our nation without a whimper. Where is the outrage?

Last
Monday, February 20, 2006, the Rocky Mountain News reported, “Mile-High
Drug Hub” making Denver the leading center for drug distribution in
the United States. It’s part of MS-13 Gang’s dispersal of $128 billion
in drugs crossing our border with Mexico every year. Ironically, Congress
guards South Korea’s border with 37,000 troops with our billions in
tax dollars, pats down gray-haired ladies at our airports, spends
$80 billion annually on the war on drugs, but leaves our border unguarded
allowing that $128 billion in drugs to cross year after year. Additionally,
terrorists from any country can walk over the Mexican border with
a 99 percent chance of succeeding. Where is the outrage?

With
a growing illegal alien population exceeding 300,000 in Colorado,
the state House legislators on Wednesday of last week defeated six
bills to stop illegal alien migration. One particular bill, HB 1134,
would have given cops the ability to arrest, detain and deport illegals.
It was soundly defeated after dozens of citizens, including this Coloradan,
testified to support the bill’s passage.

I
demanded, “We are tired of being collateral damage for illegal aliens.
We’re tired of being raped, killed, robbed and our schools being trashed
by multiple languages while our medical systems take better care of
illegals than our own citizens.”

Representative
Francesca Natividad Coleman remarked that it was a Federal issue.
I retorted, “We’re the ones getting killed and raped here locally
and we’re tired of it.” Last year, three Coloradans were killed by
illegals; Greeley, Colorado suffered 270 hit and run car accidents
alone; eight rapes by illegal aliens in Boulder and thousands of robberies.
Where is the outrage?

To
top off the crisis in our Denver schools, the Rocky Mountain News
reported the next day, February 21, 2006, “Welfare Surges 45%” with
an increase of 4,743 cases. They said it was tough job hunting, but
neglected to mention that 300,000 illegal aliens in Colorado stole
jobs from Coloradans in every sector: drywall, construction, landscaping,
fast food, house painting, janitorial, paving and dozens of other
jobs formerly worked by Coloradans. Where is the outrage?

Denver
Mayor Hickenlooper hired illegal aliens long before he was mayor and
one of his illegal employees, Raul Gomez-Garcia, killed Denver police
officer Don Young last May. Hickenlooper stood in direct violation
of federal laws and could have been fined $2,000.00 per illegal alien
hired (estimated at 70 working in his restaurants) and he could have
gone to prison for five years. Governor Owens actually endorsed a
booklet showing illegal aliens how to imbed themselves in Colorado.
He aided and abetted illegal aliens, but didn’t receive a slap on
the wrist. Where is the outrage?

Since
it’s happening in my state with 300,000 illegal aliens, can you imagine
what is happening in California with three million? Or, North Carolina
with one million? How about Illinois with one million illegals? How
about Texas with 1.5 million? I know Texans pay over $4.1 billion
annually for educating their massive load of student illegals. Where
is the outrage?

We’re
being colonized with over nine million illegal alien Mexicans crashing
our schools, medical systems, language, culture, parks, tax and welfare
systems. One look at the headlines of major newspapers across the
country echoes and mirrors the Rocky Mountain News. Where is the outrage?

It
stupefies me beyond comprehension that Americans sit back and watch
this invasion of their country without any outrage. Worse, without
any response! More than that--without a concern for their own kids’
future! Even more horrific, the line of immigrants from Mexico (and
the world) shows no sign of stopping, as the number of Mexicans grows
from their current 106 million to 200 million in this century.

As
I open this can of worms weekly; as I expose this accelerating national
crisis weekly; as you experience its quickening day by day—I would
think the outrage would reach fantastic levels. But it is not! In
fact, Bush, Congress and governors of all 50 states—not only watch
it happen—they actively aid and abet it. Arlan Specter of Pennsylvania
wants to add another one to two million legal immigrants annually.
Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy want to give amnesty to 20 million
illegals and add more in a guest worker program. Utah’s Chris Cannon
welcomes millions of Mexicans as he encourages their takeover of our
country. His sidekick Senator Orrin Hatch mirrors that sentiment.
Representative Joe Baca of California actively promotes the takeover
of California by Mexico as he endorses “Reconquista of Aztlan.” As
Mark Twain said, "Suppose you were an idiot; and suppose you were
a member of Congress; but then, I repeat myself." Twain got it right,
but where is the outrage?

While
85 to 95 percent of the American public wants our borders secured,
they stand around quietly sucking their thumbs while doing nothing.
However, the outrage and arrogance of millions of illegal alien migrants
in America advances like Paris, France’s recent experience with immigration—10,000
fire bombed cars and a month-long conflagration! We watched stupidly
as if it won’t happen to us. Think again! Of the thousands of emails
I receive, the worst and the most frightening ones are from citizens
who tell me, “Keep your powder dry!”
